In the main hall of Black Bamboo Pavilion, the three sat at the table and enjoyed the egg fried rice made by Yun Qianyu.
Although Yun Qianyu loved delicious food, she actually couldn’t eat that much. Even if she was extremely hungry, she could only eat one bowl of egg fried rice. Hua Mei had already had some snacks earlier so she also could only eat one bowl of egg fried rice at most.
In the end, most of the food was consumed by Little Bell. In fact, she did not even use a rice bowl, but ate directly from the big plate.
Gobbling down the food at the speed of sound, Little Bell had finished most of the egg fried rice on the big plate. However, even after eating all that food, she was still gawking at the remaining egg fried rice in the bowls of Yun Qianyu and Hua Mei.
“It’s delicious, really delicious. I haven’t had such a delicious meal since I was born.”
Yun Qianyu and Hua Mei looked at Little Bell with horror on their faces. ‘You can’t be serious! You’re just a little girl. After eating about three big bowls worth of rice, you still look hungry? How are you consuming all this food?’
Staring at the leftovers in Yun Qianyu and Hua Mei’s bowls, Little Bell would swallow her saliva every time they took a bite. It seemed the little girl they brought back was still very hungry. Finally, when Yun Qianyu and Hua Mei couldn’t eat any more, both of them poured their leftover rice to Little Bell’s bowl.
Without hesitating, Little Bell happily finished all the food given to her.
Thinking that the little girl would be full now, Yun Qianyu was about to go rest. However, to everyone’s surprise, Little Bell still looked at Yun Qianyu with a bitter face. Her facial expression clearly showed that she was still not full.
Stunned and in disbelief, Yun Qianyu thought, ‘Is she really a little girl? She’s eating way more than a grown man.’
However, since she had brought her back, she felt that it was her obligation to fill up her stomach. With that, Yun Qianyu asked Hua Mei to get some noodles, some chicken, and vegetables from the big kitchen. She wanted to make a bowl of chicken noodle soup for Little Bell.
Hua Mei went to the big kitchen but this time she was aware of Little Bell’s appetite so she grabbed a larger portion of ingredients. Finally, Yun Qianyu used the ingredients to make a large bowl of noodle soup with shredded chicken and vegetables. Believing that this time Little Bell would become full, Yun Qianyu watched and waited for Little Bell to consume the food.
In the end, Little Bell finished the large bowl of noodle soup with shredded chicken and vegetables. After eating, she rubbed her stomach and said happily, “I’m so full. I haven’t eaten so much in a long time. I feel so happy.”
Yun Qianyu and Hua Mei were speechless as they watched her. ‘Little Bell has consumed the amount of food three to four people would eat up. How could this little girl finish all that food? I mean, her belly doesn’t even seem big? Where did all the food go?’
Unable to figure it out and too lazy to think about the food disappearing act Little Bell had performed, Yun Qianyu decided it was time to rest up. She wanted to go to Xuantian Auction House tomorrow morning, so she thought it was better to go to bed early.
With that, Hua Mei led Little Bell to rest while Yun Qianyu washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, just as Yun Qianyu woke up, she heard people talking in a surprised tone of voice.
“This dress is so beautiful. It’ll look very nice on the young miss.”
“Mm-hmm, big sister will look good in the dress for sure,” Little Bell nodded in agreement. Although she saw Yun Qianyu’s scarred face last night, she still thought that Yun Qianyu looked beautiful. Besides that, she also very much liked Yun Qianyu’s cooking.
Thinking back on the delicious foods Yun Qianyu had made, Little Bell couldn’t control her mouth watering again; her eyes were even sparkling as she looked forward to the next meal.
Hua Mei was pleased when she heard Little Bell’s compliments to Yun Qianyu. Even though she had seen Yun Qianyu’s appearance, she didn’t dislike her.
Feeling strange about the conversation she had heard from outside, Yun Qianyu got up and went out of the room.
As soon as she went out, she saw a bunch of new clothes laying on the soft couch outside.
